NFL executive says Saints are potential landing spot for Julio Jones

No one really thought there was any chance of Jones landing with the Saints because they're division rivals with the Falcons, but don't be so sure.

My 1st response to this is "with what money?"
My 2nd is that I truly think he Will end up either in Tennessee or New England and I think that time for has passed.

But..for the sake of argument: What would it take?

I'm not going to lie. Having him and Michael Thomas on the field together will be a matchup nightmare for the opposing teams. However, I don't see this happening because of our current money situation, his salary/age and finally there is no way that the Falcons will trade their player to a division rival, especially to us

I could see the potential for a trade, for several reasons. 1. IT would help the falcons rank. 2. Best offer and hurt us cap wise.

That being said, I dont think we are 1 playeras away from being súper bowl contenders and need to start gearing up for the next decade.

Hindsight being what IT is...I think I would rather have had Jones the past 2 years than Ruiz or Davenport.

No chance they trade with a divisional rival. Will never happen.

This.
No way they would deal him to us unless they got an absurd Ditka-like offer that would absolutely cripple us while the rest of the league laughed at us.

There’s always a chance. Well actually...there is no chance in this situation.

I agree... but that really wasn't the question. What type of Kings ransom would they ask for.

I think Atlanta is pretty desperate to get rid of his contract right now, bit on the Saints side, I just think IT would be foolish regardless of the contract.

I'm sure they'd start with another elite player...that'd be Ramcyzk, Kamara, Lattimore, or CGM. Not even sure Lattimore would be enough. It's going to be unreasonable.

Man, I so wish we actually had the money to make this happen so that we could not make it happen and use the money on someone who could stay on the field when it mattered.

As much mutual hate both franchises (and their fan bases) have for each other there's a less than zero chance they trade him here.

I don't think there's a chance this will happen.

I love Chris Godwin, but he isn’t Mike Evans.

Imagine giving Jameis two Mike Evans type players... Michael Thomas and Julio Jones.

It’s a nice pipe dream.

Even if we had the money this wouldn’t happen. Whoever wrote the article is just wanting clicks. Zero chance they trade him in division

Fontenot is in Atlanta now. We have a relationship with him obviously.

 

[Saint Greg]

No way. He’s 32. He’s almost done. He needs to go to a team that can win the super bowl. Plus the Falcons would make us pay extra for being a division rival.
